GETTING STARTED
UNPACKING ORCHESTRA
- Take the ORCHESTRAS out of the packaging and check whether the ORCHESTRAS or the individual parts exhibit damages. If this is the case, do not use the ORCHESTRAS. Should you detect any damage, contact your dealer or sonorous audio GmbH customer support immediately.
- Check to make sure that the delivery is complete (2 speakers, 2 speaker meshes, 2 bass plugs).
- Place the ORCHESTRAS at a suitable and safe location. If you want to put your ORCHESTRAS on a natural wood surface, please make sure that it is suitable. On oiled and waxed surfaces, stains may occur.
- Do not touch or push the woofer and tweeter on the front of ORCHESTRA. This can destroy the speaker.
ORCHESTRAS can be connected to amplifier as show below. To avoid short circuits, please first switch off the amplifier to which you want to connect your ORCHESTRAS. Connect the right speaker to the right and left speaker to the left channel of your amplifier. Be careful not to reverse the polarity of

- Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable come into contact with Orchestras rear panel and screws.
REMOVE THE SPEAKER GRILLE
The speakers can be operated with or without the speaker grille.
LOCATING ORCHESTRA
The distance between the speakers and the distance to your listening position
should form an isosceles triangle.
a = b = c
When you are in your preferred listening position, the tweeter of your
ORCHESTRA speakers should be at the same height as your ears.
d = e
BASS PORT PLUG
If you need to place your speakers too close to the back wall or on a shelf, the bass may be perceived as too strong. In this case, inserting the foam plug into the bass reflex tube may improve the sound. Please never push the plug completely into the bass reflex tube!
